You must have missed my Halloween costume last year: instagram.com/p/B4TRN6UHYSS/ I think his head is shaved in Season 4.... I'm not willing to do that... My Covid hair is getting pretty long... I think I'm gonna go for Dave Grohl this year: www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/dave-grohl-4870a23d-5f88-404f-8848-db39e6508261-e1530527310623.jpg

Hey, No spoilers please.

don't quote me on this but I believe Fortnine said neck braces reduce spine injuries by 89 percent

Sounds scientific…. Can we go like 10 layers deeper than Fortnine?@@irvingpena4810

Daily commuting on the road you would do better with Leatt's road specific neck brace. It is designed to brace a bit better with the arms over the shoulder blades, something you can't do for dirt riding since the shoulders move so much. If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach out to our Gear Geeks at cs@revzilla.com or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/leatt-stx-road-neck-brace

While there are Street Neck brace options out on the market, these braces highlighted in this video are for Dirt riding only. Careful with your combination of neck brace and airbag system too, as neither are tested with one another in an accident so instead of improving safety you might be making it more dangerous. Just off the top of my head - In the event of the airbag deploying it would need room to expand but your neck brace is designed to fit against your body/jacket. So one would need to give and it would likely be the neck brace given the deployment force of the airbag system. Couldn't really even say what would happen after that but I would imagine it wouldn't be that good. Just food for though.

@@RevZilla Thanks!!

For road biking you should be looking at airbag jackets. They offer far better protection (including the neck). Fortnine did an excellent video on it. They are not used on dirtbikes as you expect offs on dirt and refilling would be impractical.

Yes, just takes some work to get the neck brace on after the jersey. It will likely stretch out the collar of the jersey but something a large amount of riders will do.

Yes. Lots of KZfaqrs who travel the world wear them… I still would love to see some white papers.

Mountain biking braces are typically made of lighter materials and designed a bit differently since you are doing much more physical movement on a bike versus a motorcycle. As for your armor, mountain biking typically uses an armored shirt rather than more rigid armor, again since you have much more motion going on. This is what I wear when I ride: www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-paragon-lite-armored-mtb-shirt I hope that helps! -Zack

@@RevZilla Thanks so much for the reply,

I ride with the old Leatt Road for the past 3 years and i wear it for every ride. I can tell you that at least mine doesn't make it any more quiet. But it also isn't any louder

@@wolfgangrembeck Do you do road riding or only track? If road, does the neck brace make turning your head to look for rear traffic more difficult?

@@trueword247 i did both. But all i can say about a neckbrace is: if you really want the safety you get used to it. But it does interfeer with it a little bit at first and then you adjust from there. It really isn't that bad

@@wolfgangrembeck thank you

I would like to know as well.

No, they won't work with airbag systems. Because these neck braces are rigid, they would interfere with the airbag deploying and probably do more harm than good.

Coping and pasting from another comment that still answers your question. See below.

@@RevZilla thanks guys!

Most of the data on the market for neck braces protecting you are for off-road crashes/riding. You could definitely use it when you get to the dirt roads or gravel areas, but it might be overkill or even dangerous for long tarmac/highway sections because its just something to catch/grab on the pavement and jerk your head if sliding across the road. Off-road and on-road accidents share some similarities but differ on way more fronts so does the protection needed. Personally, I would not wear a neck brace on road fwiw.

@@patrickmchugh8039 Why do you think it would be dangerous on road? I figured these would help reduce risks in all circumstances 🤔

@@Laksujaakso Off-road: the compression of the spine/side to side motion is a big part of the accident, which is what the neck brace is really after protecting. While you will/may also need that on-road, you have to factor in the sliding on the tarmac and having a neck brace that could snag on the pavement or gravel and jerk your head/neck in a different direction would be dangerous IMO. Ideal on-road crash is similar to a MotoGP crash where you look like you are sliding on a waterslide (without tumbling) to a stop. Adding something that could grab/jerk the neck while sliding, or cause you to start tumbling, would be counter intuitive to come to a safe-stop while sliding. Follow your heart though but I'd say if neck braces were proven to help in road-tarmac accidents we would've seen them on road racers. An airbag might be the better option for you - one that is out of the way and smooth but will brace the neck area without using hard-parts.

@@patrickmchugh8039 Fair point there, although I believe the premium Leatt models are designed to come apart in situations like sliding on the road. The problem with an airbag is it'll go off when I go down on the trails and they won't be reusable that quickly. Damn it, now I don't know what to do 😅

@@Laksujaakso I would just follow what everyone else is doing and just wear your jacket with armor built in or an armor rig with a shell overtop. I wouldn't go and reinvent the wheel since everybody else seems to be protected as is (for the most part). FWIW too, Leatt and the others really only mention/talk about off-road crashes and sales, rarely do they mention on-road. Used to be some more on-road specific braces a few years back, but they were aimed at stunters in parking lots/lower speeds, since they are more similar to off-road crashes.

Full face helmets have been around since what, the 60s? Personally I'd rather full face helmets mandated and allow lane splitting. Lane splitting being a banned practice is the true sign of a nanny state.

...said the paraplegic. I've seen a lot of neck injuries in my 50 years and I sure don't wanna be wheelchair bound or worse. Crashing is part of the game (especially offroad) so why not wear something to protect your neck from breaking?

@@kingbee1971 are you VACCINATED too? 🤣

@@michaelwhite3615 Yep, no measles, mumps, and rubella for me.
